How can I get better at mixing?
I got an NS6 for Christmas and have been practicing on it. I took a few DJ lessons a while back and learned all about beatmatching and and setting loops and cue's and all that. Just beginner stuff. But I was wondering how I can get better and what things and techniques I can do to get better. While practicing I've realized that beat matching isn't as easy as it seems which I totally understand and I'm completely willing to put in the time in effort to become better. So my question is, should I just continue to work on my beat matching skills and learning how to place loops and cue's better? And keep that going? Or is there more I should to do improve? I just want to make sure I'm on the right track. Also, where should I go to look for good music to start mixing? I'm new to the DJ scene so I want to make sure I'm going to the right places and doing the right things. I can find popular, hot music on youtube easily, but where can I find new and recent music to use in my tracks that aren't super popular, but still good? Any tips and comments would be appreciated. Thanks :)
Also, I'm planning to focus more on mixing top 40, progressive house, house and dub. And how do you mix dub? I can't seem to figure that out. Thanks
